Bollinger R.D. 1996
By Bruce Sanderson • September 2006
A powerhouse. Big and sophisticated this Champagne combines lemon and grapefruit notes with candied fruits, roasted nuts and coffee. It’s fresh, dry and finely detailed with finesse and a lingering finish driven by acidity. Drink now through 2020. |

Bollinger Brut Champagne Special Cuvée NV
By Bruce Sanderson • October 2006
A TOP TEN CHAMPAGNE: Compact and yeasty, this bubbly evokes bread dough and grapefruit flavors backed by verve and a chalky texture. It has a fine mousse and a lingering finish. Good power derived from the Pinot base and small addition of barrel-fermented wines in the blend. Drink now through 2010. 20,000 cases imported. |
Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 1999
By Bruce Sanderson • December 2006
Displays graphite, mineral and whole-grain bread aromas and flavors. Firm, with a dry, tactile feel and bright acidity. Less intense on the finish, yet still outstanding. An expressive 1999. Drink now. |
